In his previous book City Gorged with Dreams (2002), Ian Walker
challenged established ideas about Surrealist photography by
emphasising the key role played by documentary photographs in
Parisian Surrealism. Now Walker turns his attention to the arrival
of Surrealism in England in 1936. Examining for the first time the
surprising relationship between Surrealism and English documentary
photography and film, the book shows that some of the most
interesting work of the period was made in the ambiguous spaces
between them. One of the key themes in this book is the
relationship between the 'homely' and the 'exotic', in the
innovative mix of poetry and ethnography in Mass-Observation for
example, or the shadowed England constructed in the work of Bill
Brandt. Based on extensive archival research, interviews and visits
to sites where the photographs were made, this book is rich in
detailed analysis yet written in an accessible and often witty
style. -- .
